CVS Health is seeking a seasoned WFM Techno-Functional Expert to lead end-to-end scheduling and labor forecasting capabilities across demand forecasting, staffing plans, and schedule generation. Collaborate with stakeholders, product, engineering, and vendors to translate business needs into scalable, well-governed solutions.

The ideal candidate brings deep hands-on experience configuring and optimizing WFM platforms (Infor, UKG, Legion) and strong forecasting knowledge.

Qualifications

7+ years delivering Workforce Management solutions with forecasting, staffing, and scheduling.
7+ years with WFM scheduling constructs (rules, templates, shifts, optimization constraints) and forecasting concepts.
6+ years configuring, customizing, and debugging WFM solutions.
5+ years with large enterprise WFM platforms such as Infor WFM/Workbrain, UKG, Legion, or similar tools.
3+ years partnering with SaaS vendors to deliver business outcomes.
3+ years working in Agile environments with experience in change management and vendor negotiation.
3+ years demonstrating excellent communication and stakeholder leadership skills with the ability to drive decisions, manage competing priorities, and drive execution.
2+ years' experience demonstrating analytical problem-solving and decision-making skills with a track record of delivering scalable solutions.
2+ years demonstrating a growth mindset while developing self and others.

Responsibilities

Lead discovery workshops with business stakeholders to understand demand drivers, arrival patterns/seasonality, labor standards, staffing strategies, and scheduling pain points; translate findings into actionable requirements and priorities.
Drive fit-gap analysis across vendor/product options and current-state tools; recommend the right functional approach (process + platform configuration) with clear tradeoffs and decision rationale.
Design forecasting workflows and operating model (inputs, assumptions, scenarios, overrides, governance) to produce reliable demand and staffing plans.
Define scheduling design patterns: shift templates, rules, segment windows, trial schedule sets, and schedule optimization constraints; ensure designs support business realities and compliance.
Establish solution guardrails for accuracy, auditability, and transparency (e.g., how totals are validated, how exceptions/anomalies are handled, how what-if analysis is performed).
Partner with engineering/technology leads to convert functional designs into configuration and build plans (configuration, custom extensions, reporting, automation, integrations).
Own functional delivery. This includes configuring and customizing vendor applications to meet business needs.
Drive end-to-end lifecycle execution for enhancements, defects, and releases; ensure documentation and artifacts are maintained in standard tracking tools and processes.
